The God of Hell
A Plays, Drama, Theatre book. An excellent portrayal of paranoia and the dangers of diving headfirst into unbridled...
Pulitzer Prize winner Sam Shepard’s latest play is an uproarious, brilliantly provocative farce that brings the gifts of a quintessentially American playwright to bear on the current American dilemma.Frank and Emma are a quiet, respectable couple who raise cows on their Wisconsin farm. Soon after they agree to put up Frank’s old friend Haynes, who is on the lam from a secret government project involving plutonium, they’re visited by Welch, an unctuous government bureaucrat from hell. His aggressive patriotism puts Frank, Emma, and Haynes on the defensive, transforming a heartland American household into a scene of torture and promoting a radioactive brand of conformity with a dangerously long half life.

More About The God of Hell
I liked it. An excellent portrayal of paranoia and the dangers of diving headfirst into unbridled patriotism.What I would have given to see Tim Roth as Welch... Really great writing - would have loved to see a production of this too. Wonderful tension and a nice link between America's recent problems and the fear around McCarthyism.
